I find the Ruby community is still very friendly (maybe I am just reading too much into the past tense of your statement) and I was so delighted when I found out that the Go community was the same.
When reflecting at certain events a few years ago I remember that I was put off from learning <a language> because I stumbled upon some hostility within the community (I was just an observer in the incident, but it still affected me).
Reading some of the comments made me realise the friendly community and "healthy ecology" of a programming language are very important (Disclaimer: that's my personal experience).
